Subject: Re: [sca-j] Publishing Code artifacts



Folks,

+1 to publishing all the code artifacts - zipped and unzipped, binary and source.

( I know that this will mean work in at least the case of the JavaDoc)

In terms of precedent, we already published the source ZIP for all the artifacts of the
Assembly test suite, in exactly the way that is described here.


Yours,  Mike.

Subject: [sca-j] Publishing Code artifacts






The following needs to be topic of discussion for Monday.  Some of us have
been discussing this off-list.  I've brought the jist of the discussion to
the rest of the TC because the issues have broadened and now needs to be
visible to the community.

1) Do we want a compiled jar of CAA API classes available publicly, hosted
by OASIS and published alongside the spec (i.e. it has a stable URI) such
that a developer could download the jar and use it to compile his own
application code?

2) Do we want a source zip of CAA API Java files available publicly, hosted
by OASIS and published alongside the spec (i.e. it has a stable URI) such
that a runtime vendor or spec reviewer could download the jar and make
comments on the Java API itself (since the Java source files are normative
just like the XML schema files)?

3) Do we want an unzipped version of CAA API Javadoc available publicly,
hosted by OASIS and published alongside the spec (i.e. it has a stable URI)
such that a developer could view the javadoc online?

4) Do we want a zipped version of the CAA API Javadoc available publicly,
hosted by OASIS and published alongside the spec (i.e. it has a stable URI)
such that a developer could download the javadoc for use on his local
machine? (FWIW, I prefer local javadoc so that I have it when I'm offline,
which is often).

I think the answer to all of these is yes, which would mean 4 new URIs (in
addition to the spec documents) for Mary to publish.  I agree with Anish
that once we have these URIs, we can sprinkle them where-ever we want, in
the spec document, in the Assembly RDDL, etc.  If we agree on the above
then it seems like we (probably me) will need to speak with Mary about our
plan/idea.

I'm mindful of the current controversy in the C/CPP TC (and also the SDO
TC) over publishing code artifacts and am wary of overloading Mary with new
ideas, so the TC needs to get clear on what we want to do here and should
also work with the other TCs which are facing similar issues.
